Shohei Ohtani has proven to the skeptics that his bat is still a game-changer at the MLB-level, now the two-way star will be out to prove his arm can translate as well. Ohtani will be making the second start of his MLB career for the Los Angeles Angels when they host the Oakland Athletics Sunday.
- Albert Pujols is 14-for-33 with 4 HRs and 11 RBIs in his career vs Kendall Graveman.
- The Angels are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last 5 games against the Athletics.
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of the last 6 meetings between the Angels and Athletics.
Ohtani’s first start came last Sunday when he faced the very same A’s squad, allowing three hits and three earned runs over 6.0 innings of work. It was a rocky start for the righty in his first outing – giving up a two-run home run in the second inning – but Ohtani retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced.
The A’s will counter with Kendall Graveman – who has not looked good in his first two starts of the season. Graveman has surrendered 15 hits and nine earned runs with just two strikeouts in his 10.0 innings this season. The right-hander faced the Angels in the Athletics’ season-opener, an outing in which he gave up five earned runs – including three home runs.
